How hard is it to get on disability when you have asthma? I am having quite a bit of trouble. This recent asthma episode is really taking its toll. I can't even
shop or walk to my garden without having a
severe attack. I am so tired all of the time and can't even taste my food anymore..
HELP!!

Good luck, I know just how you must feel. I myself am having a great deal of lung pain and using a breathing machine for treatments.

I am so tired of trying to breathe ya know?

i just got diagnosed with asthma in March, i never had it before, reading other posts on here got me to thinking alot, im afraid of having another one of those attacks and ending up in the ER again. I dont have it that bad like others i read on here, but im worried it can get that way, is it possible to have asthma disablity in my condition?
